Battlestar grounded? Goodbye Lost?

Two of the best shows on television may be set to come to an earlier than expected finish.

Michael Ausiello on the TV Guide podcast reckons Battlestar Galactica might not be back next year. The speculation comes following strong rumours that one of the major characters dies in episode 16 of the current season. The ratings for the show have not been that strong, and the creators may choose to end the series after just three seasons while it is on a creative high. The new season has just started on Tuesdays on SKY One

Anybody who feared Lost was going to drag on forever and provide no answers - was wrong. The creators have confirmed that are currently talking to ABC about the end. While a fourth season seems certain, the saga may well end with a shortened fifth run. This will get the show to the magic 100 episodes and also provide answers and solutions to the series for the millions of fans. Lost returns in the UK next month
